CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority and benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0071430, filed on Jun. 17, 2019 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BACKGROUND

The following description relates to an imaging lens system including seven lenses.

A compact camera may be mounted on a wireless terminal. For example, the compact camera may be mounted on a front surface and a rear surface thereof, respectively. Such a compact camera may be used for a variety of purposes such as outdoor scenery photography, indoor portrait photography and the like, such that performance that is not inferior to a general camera is required. However, it may be difficult to realize high performance because a small camera may be limited by a mounting space due to a size of a wireless terminal. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an imaging lens system capable of improving the performance of a compact camera without increasing the size of the compact camera.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. The sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that would be well known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example or embodiment, e.g., as to what an example or embodiment may include or implement, means that at least one example or embodiment exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples and embodiments are not limited thereto.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

Herein, a first lens means a lens closest to an object (or a subject), and a seventh lens means a lens closest to an imaging plane (or an image sensor). Herein, a unit of a curvature of radius, a thickness, TTL (a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane), 2IH (a diagonal length of the imaging plane), IH (½ of 2HI), and a focal length of the lens may be in millimeters (mm).

The thickness of the lens, the distance between the lenses, and the TTL is a distance from an optical axis of the lens. In an explanation of a shape of each lens, a convex shape on one surface may mean that a paraxial region of the surface may be convex, and a concave shape of one surface may mean that a paraxial region of the surface may be concave. Therefore, even when one surface of the lens is described as having a convex shape, an edge portion of the lens may be concave. Similarly, even when one surface of the lens is described as having a concave shape, an edge portion of the lens may be convex.

The imaging lens system includes five or more lenses. For example, the imaging lens system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens, sequentially disposed at intervals from an object side. The imaging lens system may further include a sixth lens disposed at intervals between the fifth lens and an imaging plane.

The filter is disposed between the seventh lens and the image sensor. The filter may block some wavelengths of light. For example, the filter may block infrared light wavelengths. The image sensor forms an imaging plane on which light refracted through the first lens to the seventh lens may be formed. The image sensor converts an optical signal into an electrical signal. For example, the image sensor may convert an optical signal incident on the imaging plane into an electrical signal. The stop is disposed to adjust an amount of light incident on the lens. For example, the stop may be disposed between the first lens and the second lens or disposed between the second lens and the third lens.

The imaging lens system may satisfy at least one of the following conditional expressions. 0<f1/f<2.0  Conditional Expression 1: 25<V1−V2<45  Conditional Expression 2: 25<V1−V3<45  Conditional Expression 3: 25<V1−V4<45  Conditional Expression 4: 25<V1−V5<45  Conditional Expression 5: −3.5<f2/f<0  Conditional Expression 6: 1.5<f3/f  Conditional Expression 7: f4/f<0  Conditional Expression 8: f5/f<0  Conditional Expression 9: 0<f6/f  Conditional Expression 10: f7/f<0  Conditional Expression 11: TTL/f<1.4  Conditional Expression 12: −1.0<f1/f2<0  Conditional Expression 13: −2.0<f2/f3<0  Conditional Expression 14: BFL/f<0.4  Conditional Expression 15: D12/f<0.1  Conditional Expression 16: SD5/IH<0.6  Conditional Expression 17: 0.7<SD6/IH  Conditional Expression 18: 0.8<SD7/IH  Conditional Expression 19: TTL/2IH<0.730  Conditional Expression 20:

The imaging lens system may satisfy all the following conditional expressions. 1.6≤Nd2  Conditional Expression 21: 1.6≤Nd3  Conditional Expression 22: 1.6≤Nd4  Conditional Expression 23: 1.6≤Nd5  Conditional Expression 24:

Further, the imaging lens system may satisfy the following conditional expression. TTL/2HI<0.613  Conditional Expression 25:

In the imaging lens system, the refractive power of the first lens is higher than the refractive power of the sixth lens, and the refractive power of the sixth lens is higher than the refractive power of the third lens. For example, the first lens, the third lens, and the sixth lens may satisfy the following conditions. 1/f3<1/f6<1/f1  Conditional Expression 26:

In the conditional expressions, f is a focal length of the imaging lens system, f1 is a focal length of the first lens, f2 is a focal length of the second lens, f3 is a focal length of the third lens, f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens, f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens, f6 is a focal length of the sixth lens, f7 is a focal length of the seventh lens, V1 is an Abbe number of the first lens, V2 is an Abbe number of the second lens, V3 is an Abbe number of the third lens, V4 is an Abbe number of the fourth lens, V5 is an Abbe number of the fifth lens, TTL is a distance from an object side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane, BFL is a distance from an image side surface of the seventh lens to the imaging plane, D12 is a distance from the image side surface of the first lens to an object side surface of the second lens, SD5 is an effective radius of the fifth lens, SD6 is an effective radius of the sixth lens, and SD7 is an effective radius of the seventh lens, Nd2 is a refractive index of the second lens, Nd3 is a refractive index of the third lens, Nd4 is a refractive index of the fourth lens, and Nd5 is a refractive index of the fifth lens.

Conditional expression 1 is a condition for limiting appropriate refractive power of the first lens. A first lens that is outside of a numerical range of the conditional expression increases a focal length of the imaging lens system, making miniaturization of the imaging lens system difficult. Conditional expressions 2 to 5 are conditions for reducing chromatic aberrations of the imaging lens system. Conditional expressions 6 to 11 are conditions for limiting appropriate refractive power of the second lens to the seventh lens, respectively. A lens that is outside of the numerical range of the conditional expressions has too high or too low to correct aberrations through each lens. Conditional expressions 12 and 15 are conditions for miniaturization of the imaging lens system. The imaging lens system that is outside of the upper limit value of the conditional expression is not suitable for a portable terminal because the distance from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane is outside of the range that can be mounted on the portable terminal or the focal length of the imaging lens system is too short. Conditional expressions 13 and 14 are conditions for limiting an appropriate focal length of the first lens to the third lens. A lens that is outside of the numerical range of the conditional expression may cause aberration characteristics to deteriorate because the refractive power thereof may be too high. Conditional expression 16 is a condition for reducing chromatic aberrations through the first lens and the second lens. For example, if a distance between the first lens and the second lens is outside of the upper limit value of the conditional expression, it is difficult to improve the longitudinal chromatic aberration according to Abbe number deviation of the first lens and the second lens. Conditional expressions 17 to 19 are conditions for reducing a flare phenomenon. If effective radii of the fifth lens to the seventh lens are outside of the upper limit value or the lower limit value of the conditional expression, a sweep angle of each lens becomes wider, such that flare characteristics may be deteriorated.
